Tool-Assisted Speedrun

A Tool-Assisted speedrun or TAS is any run created using emulator rerecording tools to play the game at as perfect a level as possible. Theory runs such as LOTADs are a similar category that aim simply for completion. This article covers TASes which were made with the intent of extreme optimization.

ALttP TAS Community

There is a TAS channel on the official speedrun discord.

You can also read through the tasvideos.org discussion thread for ALttP. It's not posted in often anymore, but there's still a lot of interesting knowledge and history there.

List

Note: TASes are timed from power on to final input.
